To give you a better view I zoomed in on my lashes. This is using Covergirl lashblast in black. I am trying to find a really good brand to extend and thicken my lashes but for using a drugstore mascara they look decent in pic. I don't know the proper technique for curling but, if I only curl them once then apply mascara they fall out of the curl and look flat. So, I find it highly effective to recurl them after every mascara application. Currently I am looking into Lancome or Shiseido mascaras since I have heard great things online. But, I am looking for recommendations! I am seeking that awesome fake lash look! Lush and full. Oh and ignore the eyebrows I am still in the process of shaping and tweezing!

Today I tested out more of my cherry culture order. I also got my woot shirt it is Mr.Groundhog. It snowed here and it is dark I feel like it is bed time already. New Years isn't the best so far. Sorry about the weird pic just being a goof. Welp I am going to wrap things up quick hold on tight. So, quickly what I have on is NYX powder and Revlon colorstay foundation. I have Lashblast mascara by covergirl on, amuse eyeshadows, and NYX round lipstick in herades.I curl and coat my eyelashes three times. Oh, and I used Amuse eyebrow kit. Thanks all happy new year!

Aw ha! I got my first Cherry Culture order I am damnnnnnnn pleased!!!! This stuff rocks. NYX is hardcore and my haul has really enlightened me. Here I am reviewing flirt makeup filling up my time but darn it, I haven't seen anything yet till today. This makeup is high quality and a bargain buy. Now, I really am blushing thanks to cherry culture! To think all this time my praises have been finally answered by a five minute order I placed. Girls you better go and I mean quick. The kettle is whistling I may have to order my second haul today wouldn't wanna buy it all out on yah. =D

Okay! I'll contain my excitement so I can tell you what I got!

In order from Top to Bottom:

First Picture: Amuse Eyebrow Kits $3.00 each. I picked these because they are 3 bucks for an eye color and three stencils which I didn't capture sorry. The one on the left is Medium Brown and the one on the right is Dark Brown. I didn't know how true the colors were to the pictures and which would work best on me so since they were dirt cheap I got both. The stencils are awesome the first time I have ever used stencils and it made a BIG difference! The dark brown was truest to my real color and it didn't apply heavily so I didn't look like a hairy monster! I love this you have to get it! I can tell it is going to last me a long time! If you're scared of the hairy eyebrow monster look don't worry order the color you think matches you! Great buy.

Second Picture: These are two eye color color palettes by Amuse. Awesome pigmentation and blends well. They are very sparely but surprisingly they worked. Some how the sparkles blended nicely into the deep colors.If they didn't offer such a great color pay off these would of sucked! But, they are great.I love the browns and neutrals. I believe one is called Golden and one is Pink princess. The one on the left would be pink princess it has cooler shades. They are just gorgeous again nice price! The total for both of them was $8.00.

Third Picture: This is NYX Mosaic Powder in Champagne. Now, you'll want to know about this one. I thought it was going to have lighter colors in it but it is very dark. I gave it a hard tap after and so I applied it lightly. Despite being so rich and brown it comes off very beautifully if you apply a little. It is amazing and the package is sturdy. I would say any NYX Mosaic powders are a must and fun to have. I will be using it has a blush. $6.50.

Fourth Picture: This is just a big picture but what I want to focus on is the NYX foundation and powder. These are tricky because normally I wear ivory or any light colors. However, the powder in this image is light beige and the liquid is natural. They were perfect for my skin tone but I do tend to have yellows more than cool tones in my complexion. These were great and left my face baby soft. What you really want out of these products is the powder it is amazing and the applicator is nice and soft. These cost $ 12.00 each. I highly recommend the powder it will give you a photo shop finish. And definitely pick the image color on the cherry culture site that matches you accurately don't be swayed by the names. I thought light beige would be too tan for me and it wasn't.

Skipping to the Lipstick Picture: These are NYX's round lipsticks. Starting on the left we have Sierra, Herades, and NYX. They are all very flattering and offer superb even application. If you already own Herades and love it you might like NYX. NYX has a similar tone just a little bit lighter and intense with a metallic sheen. It is cute worn lightly as a stain. These were all silky and great. They were warmer colors.

Well that is it for now thank you for reading! I just got these today so I will update more about my experience later. =} <3

I saw this Christmas day and at a good time because no one was in the theater! Loved this movie and I recommend it to everyone including couples. It would be a great date night movie. Yes Man incorporates a message to the audience about the tragedy of our closed off and mundane lives while allowing the opportunity for sighs of relief and laughter for the viewers to lighten the reality for those who say, "No" far too often. It was heartfelt and witty so you could laugh at the main character while identifying with his situation. Though it is vulnerable that I am putting myself out there I have had those moments where I felt shy and like a recluse because I didn't think I was worth it. But in summation, it was just an overall awesome movie and it won't disappoint you! <3 I am going to get this DVD. GO GO GO!! Beautiful and funny worth seeing it twice.

The color I purchased by American beauty is Autumn Kiss and it is amazing and offers a better quality than Flirt lipsticks. It has a smooth finish and makes your lips look younger. The colors are true to what they are advertised as and they have less sparkle. Autumn kiss is a nude shade but it isn't heavy and as brown as it comes off. If you have a big collection of nude colors I'd skip this purchase because it is a popular shade. This lipstick provides a solid tone and can be blended for lighter coverage. Great quality, retails at $12.50 I would buy more of this for the price. Meow Meow =->

I recently traded my Alba jasmine and vitamin E moisture cream for Alba's sea lipid daily cream. Sure I love to accidentally test a product out, a little slip of the hand into a package doesn't hurt sometimes. This stuff made my fingers velvety smooth and I couldn't wait to put it on my face. The result was smooth skin and a soft and supple appearance. My face is renewed and the ingredients are harmless. For instance, sunflower oil, shea butter, algae, kelp, and vitamin E are on the label. It smells and and feels good honestly a great purchase.

My first lipstick from Khol's department store and it cost $10.00. It goes on smoothly but it dried up my lips. I don't know if this is a common problem or I am just unique =). Dry lips in winter not fun. So, the color is warm and dark. I think it is sexy but not an everyday shade. I had a hard time getting an even application so I recommend a lip brush. I give it props because I don't own any other shades like misbehave(yet). But on the other hand, I probably wouldn't buy another flirt lipstick in the future unless I loved the color.

ps, I didn't have a lip brush. I am getting my brush set in a week or two so wait for an update with lipbrush.

It isn't my fault I had to shop for myself while buying my little cousin a gift everything was sooooo shiny. I had to get my "buy two get one free" earrings! I haven't even shopped at claire's since hmm, say 10 years ago. But I was surprised that they didn't hurt my ears like they did before. No lies here, they aren't the best quality to you have to take better care of them if you want them to stay around for a year or two.

I love the earrings I picked keep an eye out for them. The only ones I had problems with were the dangley colored stars and I thought they were going to be the best. They were too dark so they didn't pop but the other two did!

Hello everyone just want to quickly say I am sorry for not posting I am not a expert at formatting or editing blogs I suck just can't seem to get mine in order at this moment. As soon as things start working again I am going to have so much to update. <3
